This series is a culmination of acting, plot, SFX and music; producing this grotesque beauty. Dynamically paced, viewers are not spared in this whirlwind of a rollercoaster ride. A modicum that distinguishes itself amongst other kdramas, yet in such a down to earth manner, your standards of not just K-drama but series or shows in general will never be topped ever again. It's almost inevitable you'll hate every single character, which is the true beauty and pinnacle of artistry of this series; a reflection that no human is purely good. Corrupted love is the main theme; Mo-mi's desire to be love is riddled in delusion, Oh-nam's love is a twisted obsession, Kyung Ja's maternal love is idolatry of for her son and so on. I've never paid much attention to rating Music when writing reviews, but the orchestral masterpiece of the bgm mirrors the twistedness of the characters and their motives. Yet, despite being the series being a reflection of our corruptness, the series balances this with the reminder that hope and goodwill is innate to humanity. Doing this with artful nuance and balance, the main message is a reminder that no matter how twisted our motives, purity and true love triumphs all. A riveting masterpiece and masterclass; this is truly the standard.
